While plans are still fairly preliminary, the all class reunion committee met last week to get the ball rolling.

Many have been asking for solid dates to plan a year out in order to attend the SHS all class reunion. There was also some confusion on the date of the event.

It will be June 26-29, 2025. It will be a busy weekend matched up with Pioneer Days.

The committee is seeking any local organizations and/ or businesses that may be interested in fundraising by putting together a meal or fun event.

Though the schedule is still loose they told the Leader: “We hope to offer a meal on Thursday night by the committee or local organization along with registration. Friday we are trying to organize some school tours and have time for individual classes to meet/golf etc. Friday night there is a concert at the Pioneer Town. Saturday morning some more school tours and time for classes to do their own thing. Saturday night we are hoping to offer a street dance, then Sunday possibly a brunch.”

There are many logistical matters yet to attend to. Anyone interested in assisting or having questions the committee is LeeAnn Trower, Jedd Lekvold, Kim Thievin, Lacey Southland, and Leif Handran.
